The Constituent Assembly (Con-ass), who is planning to change the Constitution, is composed of legislators both from the houses of Congress. They will be convening to amend the 1987 Constitution.

Duterte further added that any amendments proposed would be discussed through a plebiscite.

Last July 25, Duterte expressed in his State of the Nation Address that he plans to implement a federal system within the Philippines much like that in France – a government with a President and a Prime Minister.
